KU aid helps burdens of thousands
By RICK GRABILL Kansan Staff Reporter
And, if past years can be used as a yard-stick, thousands of KU students will apply for loans, grants, scholarships and work opportunities. They also score the scoring costs of a college education.
According to information distributed by the financial aid office, one out of every three KU students receives scholarship or loan assistance, with two of every five students working at some type of part-time job while attending school.
Rogers estimated that his office would receive applications for financial assistance this fiscal year.
Student financial aid is granted on the basis of need, Rogers said. A need analysis, which details the financial status of a student, can be used to each student seeking aid from the University.
he said, would be students applying for loans with the rote seeking scholarships.
In the need analysis, a comparison is made between the student's estimate of what his family can be expected to provide toward his education and the total estimated cost of attending the University for one academic year.
In addition to the student's application for financial aid, the applicant's parents are required to fill out a Parents' Confidential Statement form, which asks for information concerning their yearly income, expenses, government benefits, etc.
The amount the student's family would be expected to contribute from their income is
determined by considering the gross family income, the number of dependents and any unusual expenses, such as medical and hospital bills. The student is also expected to contribute at least $400 from his summer employment.
Rogers said he expected KU to receive about $1,700,000 by the end of this fiscal year, and hoped it would receive approximately the same amount next year.
Rogers said that the student aid program was financed primarily by the federal government, under the National Defense Education Act of 1958. Under this program, schools must annually obtain money to distribute to students who need it to finance their education.
Under the terms of a loan, Rogers said, an undergraduate student could borrow up to $5,000 during his four years in school, depending on his need.
Rogers said that the University had to match one-ninth of the amount contributed by the federal government, with three per cent of every dollar loaned going to the University for expenses accrued by the financial aid office.
$10,000 during his college career, Rogers said.
After the student finished his schooling, he is given a nine-month grace period before he has to start paying back the loan, which will be made annually. He may years at an interest rate of three per cent.
"We try to hold the maximum loan to $1000 a year if we can," he said.
Rogers said there were probably cases of students procuring loans, socking the money into savings accounts and drawing interest on it. The cost, but these would be few because of the measures taken to insure that the loans be given to only those with a real need.

KU library system sees writing on wall
Preliminary findings of several library staff members indicate that space problems in the University's libraries might become the university before a new library can be completed.
Time may be running out for the University of Kansas libraries.
"The longer we wait on beginning a new library the worse the situation will become." Scott Siebel, Prairie Village sophomore and a member of the University library facilities committee, said last week that location is bad and it's getting worse.
The planning of a new central library is being conducted by the University library facilities committee, which was recently appointed by Del Shankel, executive vice
Bob Malinowski, assistant director of the University's libraries and chairman of the committee, said the committee's job would be to decide exactly what was needed before

Malinowski said the committee needed of the suggestions for a new building that was already under construction.
